These Grilled Portobello Mushroom Steaks are perfect for indoor or outdoor grilling. It's an easy recipe that takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Just marinate, grill and enjoy!
If you’re serious - it’s because (and this is wild), many vegans used to eat things like steak, and enjoyed them.
So, sometimes it’s nice to have something in place of that thing, and refer to it as such. Like a burger, or a sausage, and yes, sometimes even steaks.
Personally I prefer imitation meats over mushroom, but some mushrooms are incredibly meaty.
I guess, just never had that thought. The point of being vegan is that I realized things like steak and sausage and even milk are bad to eat (for many reasons.). I dont want imitiation steak, because steak is bad. Just like i dont want to murder dummies because murder is bad. Idk if im making sense, but i do find it perverted to make and eat “vegan steak.”
I hear you. Personally my reason for going vegan was the ethical one, in that I could no longer live with myself without making a conscious decision to avoid being involved in the harm of animals.
I’ve always wondered why Vegans often try to make their food sound like non vegan food. Why call a grilled mushroom a “Steak”?
To trigger the carnivores, of course ;)
(Kidding aside, I wouldn’t call a straight-up grilled mushroom cap a steak either.)

But I see your perspective too.
I think it’s the same perspective? I also am vegan for ethical reasons.
You ever play video games? A lot of them are just play murder.
Sure, but is feeling like you murdered someone the fun part of video games? Not for me at least.
Do you hear vegans say it or do you see it at restaurants or in recipes like this? I think it’s partially a marketing thing to entice meat eaters.
I hear vegans say it. My cousin is vegan and a few years ago she posted a picture of her BBQ “Hot Dog”. It was a carrot on a bun…
It’s fine that she wants to replace meat with a carrot to simulate a hot dog. Just don’t call it a hot dog cause that’s not what it is.
I believe it’s used to describe cooking the mushroom cap whole as opposed to strips or slices.
Maybe because good mushrooms taste amazing and makes you forget about steaks
This mean this naming system is friendly towards newcomers into the vegan world
